Gerry wrote: IMHO most people join Mensa for two reasons: 1. To see if they can. 2. Out of curiosity. They stay if they find some of its varied activities interesting and/or fulfilling. Arrogance is seldom a characteristic of Mensans. Insecurity is a more common trait. Dullness, like beauty, seems to be in the eye of the beholder. There are many Special Interest Groups which are popular: http://www.us.mensa.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=SIG_ListTemplate=/customsource/SIGs-p.cfm T: I think this is entirely bogus, since intelligence is such a fleeting concept that is virtually impossible to define, not alone measure. G: Many Mensans would agree with you, as would those (usually psychologists) who study intelligence. The first intelligence tests were created (over 100 years ago) for the purpose of identifying those persons who should be put in an institution for the feeble minded. Then, during WW-1, the army found it useful for identifying those who could be trained as effective soldiers; especially artillerymen who had to calculate trajectories. Currently IQ tests can quite accurately predict a persons likelyhood of being successful in college. Mensans often define intelligence as the ability to pass IQ tests. T: The most common use of the word intelligent seems to occur when someone who considers themselves intelligent refers to another person who thinks similar to themselves. A third person, whose ideas are so advanced as to be unintelligible to the first two, would probably be labeled stupid by them. G: Not among most Mensans, which incidentally seems to be the reason those with highly advanced (and seemingly unintelligible) ideas find happiness and fulfillment in Mensa. In spite of their high intelligence (and often poor social skills) they are accepted as ordinary members of Mensa, which is more of a social group than anything else. Note: I'm also a member of Densa, the society of the unintelligent; as are a number of other Mensans. You may have noticed that both high and low intelligence can exist together in the same person, depending on which abilities you are measuring (such as fixing Mercedes; where I would probably be ranked as a Densan. (o:] ) T: I've taken several IQ tests, and sometimes answered all of the questions correct, placing me in the highest percentile the tests were designed to measure. It's very easy for me to solve short abstract logic problems even if they're fairly complicated, yet I have a short attention span making it difficult for me to, say understand and solve a complicated physics problem that takes days or weeks. Other people I know can do such things very easily, even if they would get a lower IQ score. G: Short attention span is one symptom of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). It's often correctible by taking the same drugs that are given to person with full blown ADD or ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder). A surprising number of Mensans have been diagnosed with ADD. I know a number of Mensans who had the same problem as yours; almost word for word and corrected it by taking the drugs. I've often wondered if there is some sort of connection between ADD and high intelligence. T: Many of the people I would consider most intelligent have minds that work in such an unusual way, it's highly unlikely that an IQ test would demonstrate their unique mental abilities accurately. *G: Basic IQ tests, such as the Wechsler-Belleview, aren't designed to measure unique mental abilities. They supposedly measure a persons intelligence broadly. Some researchers in the field of intelligence think that there is no such thing as general intelligence; that testing should be broken down into special types of intelligence which would even include the kind of intelligence that makes athletic excellence possible. T: Most intelligent thought (in my opinion) comes from thinking differently and creatively to come up with ideas and solutions that would probably not have been discovered by the type of thought that allows for rapid and accurate solving of IQ test problems. G: If you offer the same problem to a person with high intelligence and a person with low intelligence, which of the two will be most likely to come up with the best solution? General IQ tests are designed to rank people according to their likelyhood of being able to solve problems in general. A person good at solving a wide range of problems is supposedly more likely to be able to solve specific problems. General IQ tests do this quite well in predicting academic success. T: I've come to the conclusion that areas of intelligence among people are very diverse, and IQ measures a narrow, almost meaningless aspect of it.

If there's not a used set lying around, my next best bet is to go to Metric Motors which will sell me a balanced set ready to install. I have just about everything else ready except for a timing chain, belt and thrust bearings. I do need to replace the guide pin that goes through the front case. The 8mm one that is about 4 long.

Re: [MBZ] Fiat gets 35% stake in Chrysler
As usual, the press is publishing rumors! They've only entered into a preliminary, non-binding agreement. Here's the official release from Bob Nardelli. Dear Colleagues: I’ve consistently promised that your leadership team would communicate fully and directly to you regarding important business issues. Today, I have some very important information to share with you regarding a positive new development for Chrysler; one that will significantly enhance the long-term viability of our great company. In our continuing commitment to build a profitable enterprise for the future, consistent with the viability plan we submitted to congress and with the written and oral testimony I made on behalf of Chrysler, we are announcing today that Cerberus, Chrysler LLC and Fiat S.p.A. have entered into a preliminary non-binding agreement to establish a global strategic alliance. Upon completion of a due diligence process and required approvals, the agreement is expected to be completed as early as April. You can read the external announcement on the Scoop. This alliance provides significant strategic benefits that support our viability and long-term competitiveness, including product and platform sharing, global distribution, and operational and business efficiencies. Fiat would also provide management services supporting Chrysler’s submission of a viability plan to the U.S. Treasury as required. Fiat has been very successful in executing its own restructuring over the past several years. Under the agreement, Chrysler will have access to all Fiat group vehicle platforms, which would complement our current product portfolio with fuel-efficient, environmentally-friendly small cars and powertrain technology. The alliance would greatly increase the global reach for our three brands in markets outside of North America, and Fiat’s distribution organization would provide Chrysler a strong partner to help build our brand’s presence in important markets where we have little presence today. Fiat would benefit from product and technology sharing as well, with access to our vehicle platforms and our manufacturing capabilities in North America. In addition, Chrysler would assist Fiat to bring their brands to the U.S. market. As a condition of the U.S. government loan agreement, all constituents will be asked to contribute to Chrysler’s restructuring effort including: lenders, employees, the UAW, dealers, suppliers and Chrysler Financial. This partnership would adhere to the conditions of the U.S. government loan, and help us provide a return on investment for the American taxpayer by securing the long-term viability of Chrysler brands in the marketplace. The alliance would help sustain Chrysler’s product development, manufacturing, and sales operations here in the U.S which further supports our viability plan, and preserves American jobs. Our partners at the UAW have announced their endorsement of the proposed alliance. Along with the rest of the leadership team, I am aware of your desire and need to learn as soon as possible how the alliance will affect you personally. The agreement is just the first step, and we intend to keep you informed of key developments on an ongoing basis. You have brought great pride to the Company through your tireless efforts to make Chrysler successful. Please continue to approach the important work you do with the same passion and commitment today and throughout the weeks ahead as we work together with all our constituents to implement our viability plan, and pursue this exciting new alliance.

Re: [MBZ] OT Windows 7
Ed, I just got a Western Digital 1 terabyte My Book Essential a few weeks ago. It is an external USB 2. I used it to back up my old laptop which is USB 1. So it works on both 1 and 2 though it is a lot faster on 2. Best Buy had them on sale a bit ago and may still. I think it was $129. Not bad for what it can hold and if you need one to be USB and transportable. I don't know about the Mac part but if the Mac uses the Fat32 or NTFS then it should be able to read and write to this disk. It comes formatted in Fat32 but reformatting in XP wasn't a big deal and didn't take long. The video, picture and Mp3 stuff are all just files and transfered as files and shouldn't be hardware dependent on a hard drive. I didn't use a backup program so I had no problems that way. You probably won't either unless you are going to use a backup program and it for some reason won't read or write those files, or if the Mac uses a different file system. Others will probably know more about that. I haven't been back to Apple since my II+ days. Probably should revisit it but PCs seem to be a bit less expensive then similarly equipped Apples.

On a side note, I went to a magnet high school (Google MSMS), and the difference in quality of discussion was amazing. My high school for 9th and 10th grade was pretty good, but the people weren't interested having deep/intense conversations of any kind. At MSMS, you could talk about anything! Being a geek or dork was acceptable, and the difference in conversations was simply amazing. I imagine going there helped me get scholarships, etc., but it was worth it for the people alone.

Re: [MBZ] Tires
I think that warranty problem may be a manager problem. The tires on the Tacoma now are Michelins that were on sale real cheap at Wallymart about a year ago so I bought them. Just recently (2-3months ago) ran over something that put a big hole in one, my fault, I saw it coming but ignored it. I took it in to a totally different Wally and they fixed it without a problem. They wanted to replace it though with a different Michelin as they didn't have that model anymore. I told them to patch it. They said it may not hold and if it doesn't then bring it back and they will replace it. All done free in less then one hour while I waited. So far I haven't had to put air in and it hasn't lost more then a couple of pounds. I'm happy with both the tires and Wally.

124, 126 (and later I assume) door panels have hooks, and are removed by bumping them up. As others have said, on the 126, if you pry out, you break the hooks and then are in trouble. Sometimes you have to bump really hard for a long time to get them loose. The armrest is held by hooks also.

Re: [MBZ] Fiat gets 35% stake in Chrysler
Fiat earned their bad reputation honestly in the USA, but they've come a long way since. Chrysler desperately needs a new small FWD platform to replace the Neon/Caliber/Girl-Jeep-of-the-Week. If this happens, I'd say it gives them a definite leg up on GM (which has only the Cobalt and Aveo crapboxes) as far as having something to sell when gas prices go back up. I'd put even money on them with Ford to survive into 2010, in fact. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Of course, it's certain I'm not qualified to be in Mensa. What happened was that my application was mailed in shortly after Mensa was computerized, everyone in the testing department was still learning how to operate the computers, and someone must have mistakenly hit the approved key instead of the rejected key.

Are the new rods the same for 3.0 and 3.5, or are they different? I would assume different Peter Frederick wrote: If you can swing it, get the new ones -- there are several revisions to the rods for the 603, and the latest ones are significantly heavier than the originals.
